In fact open up the holes so more cooling oil is squirted into
the rotors. A lack of cooling oil can increase the rotor
temperature at 6000 RPM from 190 C to about 220 C.
220 C is 428 F.

Bruces video goes through this mod.  He uses a #200 Webber
Jet I think.  It is suposed to net a bigger oriface, but not too big.

Asside from the preasure loss, what would be the affect on rotor
balance with all of that oil in the rotors?  Will it just increase flow into
and out of the rotors, or increase the volume of oil in each rotor.

First as long as the amount of oil in both rotors is more or less
the same it should not affect the balance. As far as the distribution
in the rotor this only affects the rotor balance and that is running
at 2000 to 2500 max RPM. I suspect it only affects the flow rate.
